just check out how many more at bats bonds had compared to ruth and aaron (and aaron to ruth, for that matter)

smaller parks, juiced ball, juiced barry, juiced bat, watered down pitching, tons more at bats....

and what in the world is this continual harping about ruth not having to play against black players????? how does that mean anything?

ruth pitching for five years, thus getting even less at bats, took away a ton more homers from him, in that dead ball era as well....

Aaron took 12,364 at-bats to hit 755 homers.

Bonds hit his 756th after 9,774 at-bats (20% fewer than Aaron).

Any way you slice it, Bonds is the HR king.

If you compare Bonds HR production in his first five MLB careers (when he wasn’t juiced) to Aaron’s first five years, Bonds has more HR’s per at-bat.

I absolutely agree. The total number of home runs devided by the total number of at-bats should decide the all time home run hitter.
